Damon and Stefan return from Elena's house to find Elijah sitting in one of their chairs by the fireplace.

"What are you doing here?" Damon snapped at him.

"Before you kick me out, please listen to what I have to say." Elijah stands up.

"Why should we even allow you in our house let alone listen to you?" Stefan's voice was full of anger.

"Because you will need my help if you are to find Elena." Elijah's words didn't quite sink in with them at first.

"What do you mean find her?" Stefan's voice had a slight hint of worry to it.

"Kol took her as revenge against you two and Klaus. I don't know where she is or what he plans to do with her." It was easy to tell just how worried Elijah was.

"Well what are we going to do about it?" Damon's voice became serious.

"Can Bonnie do a tracking spell?"

"I don't think she is up for that right now. Her mom was just turned into a vampire." Stefan looked over at Damon.

"Well she has to be or else there is now way to find Elena. Klaus is going out of his mind threatening Kol and desperately trying to call him, but he disconnected his phone."

"How do you even know Kol took her?"

"I found a note he left on Elena's bed when I went there to apologize for my actions today." Elijah handed them the note that read:

To whom this may concern,

Elena is gone. You will not see her ever again. Don't waste you time trying to find her. Elena is going to be with me for a very long time and there is nothing you can do about it. Besides, why would you want to disrupt my fun?

-Kol

"We need to find Bonnie, fast!" Damon immediately ran out the door after finishing his sentence. The others followed him.

Elena woke up to find a plate next to her with a couple pieces of toast on it and a glass of water next to it. Since she was starving, she picked up the toast and quickly ate it. Then she gulped down the glass of water.

"Does captivity make you hungry love?" Kol's taunting voice whispered.

"Why do you even care?" Elena asked.

"Well I figured that since you are going to be with me a while," a devilish smile spread across his face, "then maybe we could try to make an attempt at being friends."

"I will never be friends with you. You're a monster who doesn't care about anyone else's feelings."

"That wasn't an offer Elena. And you had better learn to be nice to me or else you might find yourself in a terrible situation."

"What could possibly be worse then this?" Elena was afraid to hear the answer.

"You don't want to find out." His words haunted Elena for the rest of the day.

"Bonnie please open the door." Stefan was pounding on the front door to Bonnie's house.

"I don't want to talk to you. If it's an apology for what Damon did I'm not interested. That won't change what's happened."

"This isn't about that." Elijah joined the conversation. "Kol has taken Elena and we don't know how to find her."

After hearing this, Bonnie opened up the door. "What? Why?"

"Because he wants revenge and this is the only way he knows how." Elijah wasn't sugarcoating anything.

"Fine I'll do a tracking spell, but I'm not going into a house with a psycho vampire who has kidnapped my best friend. You two can do that."

"Um actually its three" Stefan said awkwardly. Everyone knew who the third person was.

"Of course he's helping. He would do anything for Elena." Bonnie began to speak with an attitude. "Is he here?"

"No. We didn't think that you wanted to see him." Elijah acted like he knew Bonnie personally and they were great friends.

"First I'll need something of Elena's. Maybe her hair brush?"

A smile spread across Stefan's face, "we figured you might say that." He pulled out a hairbrush from his pocket with Elena's brown hair on it.

"Aren't you going to invite us in?" Elijah asked impatiently. He wanted to find Elena as soon as possible and couldn't stand all of these delays.

"No," Bonnie said sternly, "we are going to do the spell at the old house where the witches were burned."

"Why?" Elijah asked sarcastically, "Don't trust us?"

"No, I actually don't." Bonnie and Elijah seemed to be staring at each other with serious expressions on their faces.

After more glares were exchanged between Elijah and Bonnie, they left for the old witch house.

As soon as they arrived, Bonnie immediately got to work. She placed the candles in a circle and pulled out her grimoire. She began chanting words in a foreign language. Suddenly, the flames on the candles became drastically larger. Soon, the flames went down and Bonnie stopped chanting.

"Well, do you know where she is?" Stefan asked.

"I don't know an exact location, but I saw a large brown house with a porch that wrapped around the entire house. Then I saw Elena inside a cage in the basement. That is all I saw."

Elijah suddenly stepped forward, "I know where she is."

"Where?" a deeper voice suddenly spoke from inside the shadows. He revealed himself to be Damon Salvatore; the last person on Earth Bonnie wanted to see.

"I'm not going to tell…"

Suddenly Damon had Elijah up against the wall shouting at him, "Tell us!"

Since Elijah was a lot stronger he just pushed Damon right off of him. "If Kol sees you two coming up to the house, then he will automatically know what you're doing and he could either kill Elena or take her away. If I go, Kol will just think that I am coming to help him. I can't risk you two knowing the location."

"Why?" Stefan demanded.

"Because you'll feel obligated to help Elena and that will ruin my plan. Also, Klaus cannot know about this. For all he knows, we aren't any closer to finding Kol."

"Why not?" Stefan asked. "He can help us."

"If Klaus finds Elena first, he will rescue her, but he won't bring her back to Mystic Falls. In his mind, Elena is not safe here because any vampire who wants revenge on you two or Klaus will try and kidnap her and possibly kill her or worse, turn her."

"But he'll still want to take her away when she returns." Damon insisted.

"We will protect her until Klaus no longer feels that she needs to be taken away."

"We still want to help." Damon said.

"I'm doing this my way, whether you like it or not," and with that Elijah was gone.
